Bright sunlight streamed in through the foot-wide carved window and hit the rosewood desk. There were no pens, inks, paper or inkstones on the table, only a guqin was placed, and a red sandalwood gold incense burner was placed in the upper right corner. A faint sandalwood was burning inside, and the incense curled up, spiraling, and gradually dissipated in the air.
Fifteen steps away from the east side of the room, there is a sofa. At this time, a young master is leaning on Nishikori's sofa. His black hair is spread like clouds, his eyes are closed, but there seems to be a mist between his eyebrows. She looked as sad as ever, her lips were a bit pale in a different way, there were fine beads of sweat on her forehead, and some strands of hair were soaked with sweat and stuck to her face. The hand hanging on the edge of the bed was trembling slightly, as if he was enduring great pain, but his master was trying his best to restrain himself.
The person on the bed was in such a state, which made the person beside the bed extremely anxious.
Nan Liyu stood on the side of the bed, his blue-black eyes motionless looking at Ranchen, who was almost unconscious on the bed. His lips were pursed tightly, and the strength of his grip on the sword in his hand continued to increase.
Mo Ningyi, who was beside him, couldn't be so calm. He kept pacing back and forth and kept talking, looking a little anxious.
"Li Yu, tell me, is the Valley Master not as powerful as the legend says? She said that the young master will not get sick again within a month, but now..."
"Ning Yi, detoxification is not easy, don't make false claims." Nan Liyu still looked at Ranchen motionlessly, observing his condition: "Stop wandering around."
"It just so happens that Doctor Su went out of the city to collect medicine yesterday." Mo Ningyi finally stopped, but his eyes were still full of anxiety, and his hands were rubbing each other back and forth unconsciously.
"Don't worry, Li Luo has left the city to look for Dr. Su. He is riding a cloud, traveling thousands of miles a day. I believe he will be back soon." Nan Liyu whispered, and for a moment, as if he remembered something, he looked up Mo Ningyi said, "The things I told you have been settled. Don't let outsiders know about the young master's illness, especially Master Wen who has been staying in the mansion these days."
"Don't worry, Fan Xiao and the others are waiting outside." Before he finished speaking, Mo Ningyi's expression changed, "Someone is coming."
Mo Ningyi grabbed the long sword leaning on the edge of the bed and walked to the door in two steps. Nan Liyu behind him also instantly put the sword in his hand across his chest.
"Fan Xiao." Mo Ningyi called, and she couldn't help but feel vigilant. Fan Xiao was always careful. There were footsteps running towards this direction. How could he not give the signal? Could something have happened?
Just in an instant, a figure appeared at the door. With a "pop" sound, the sword in Mo Ningyi's hand hit the sword in the person's hand: "Ning Yi, it's me."
"Li Luo!" Mo Ningyi exclaimed. Even Nan Liyu behind him was a little shocked and walked forward quickly: "Why did you come back so soon? Have you found Dr. Su?"
"No." Nan Liluo took back the sword in his hand, "But you can't guess who I met on the way out of the city?" Nan Liluo said while ducking to one side. At this time, Nan Liyu and Mo Ning Yi just discovered that there were three strangers behind Nan Liluo. When they saw their faces clearly, both of them were surprised.
The visitor was wearing a moon-white smoked gauze skirt, with a crabapple flower hairpin in her hair, which was so red that it made people look away.
"Gu Guzhu, it's you."
Gu Jianghe stretched out his right hand and made a silent gesture. Jiu Xia quickly said from the side: "We will discuss our spare time later. Let us girls see the patient first."
"Okay." Mo Ningyi immediately pushed a step aside, and Nan Liyu made an invitation gesture toward the inside. Jiuxia turned around and gave Qingyang a look before walking in with Gu Jianghe.
Nan Liyu turned around and told Mo Ningyi: "Ning Yi, you and Li Luo go help Fan Xiao watch the area. Don't be careful."
"Okay, don't worry."
After waiting for the two people's answers, Nan Liyu followed Gu Jianghe into the room.
Looking at Ranchen lying on the bed, Gu Jianghe was also shocked. He quickly sat down on the edge of the bed, reached out and grabbed his right hand that was hanging on the edge of the bed, put it against his right leg, and then used his fingers to Put it on his lifeline and check his pulse carefully.
Logically speaking, this situation should not occur for at least a month. How could this happen?
"Jiu Xia, eat the Cyperus rotundus with him."
"Okay." Jiuxia nodded, opened the medicine bag slung on her body, took out a small white porcelain medicine bottle, poured out an exquisite brown pill, and gently pinched Ranchen's chin with her left hand. Ranchen, who had lost his strength, followed the force of Jiuxia's hand and opened his mouth slightly. The pill in his right hand immediately went in. He let go of his left hand and turned his fingers into a fist. He put the back of his hand against his chin and gently raised it, swallowing the pill smoothly. Go down.
After an unknown amount of time, the hand that was leaning on Gu Jianghe's right leg began to gradually become more stable, and the slight trembling no longer existed.
"Master Gu, in Yaowang Valley, you said that our young master will not get sick for at least a month, but why is he like this now?"
Seeing that the state of the person on the bed was gradually becoming more stable, Gu Jianghe stood up and Jiuxia held his shoulders, letting him lie sideways on the bed. At the same time, they stuffed a soft pillow around his waist so that he could stay slightly sideways. posture, and twirled a corner of his brocade quilt, put his right hand in it, and then turned back.
"It's okay for him. I remember I told you before. Two hearts are connected. If you want to live well, you don't have to work hard."
"After the young master came back, we also asked him to rest a lot, and he didn't go out much."
"The constant thoughts are another kind of stress." Gu Jianghe looked back at Ranchen. He was afraid that he had too many thoughts and affected the poison in his body, which would lead to another early onset of illness.
"What the Valley Master said is true." Nan Liyu put down the sword in his hand and saluted Gu Jianghe, "The young master has been fine these days. Dr. Su in the old mansion also relaxed his vigilance and went out to collect medicine from the city. Unfortunately, he came again This time, I really want to thank Gu Guzhu for such a situation."
"Don't call us girl Valley Master when you are out." Jiuxia reminded from the side.
"Yes, Miss Gu." Nan Liyu nodded very understandingly: "Why did the girl appear in Yunzhong City? But what is important? Is there anything we can do to help?"
"Cough, cough."
Suddenly, a slight cough came from the soft body.
The eyelashes trembled slightly, as if they were a little heavy. After a while, the person on the bed slowly opened his eyes.
**
As soon as I opened my eyes, what I saw was still blurry, but there seemed to be a faint medicinal fragrance coming from the tip of my nose. After a while, when the surrounding scene became clear, Ranchen discovered that there was a long-haired woman sitting next to the bed. The woman's back was turned to him, which made it difficult for him to see clearly for a moment, but the crabapple hairpin in her hair was so eye-catching.
Hearing his cough, the woman turned around.
Ranchen was stunned.
It's actually her.
Her eyebrows are slender and picturesque, her eyes twinkle like stars, and the moon shines over the cold river.
"You're awake." Gu Jianghe heard the movement on the bed, turned around, and met a pair of eyes like the starry sky at night.
Looking at Ranchen who seemed to be struggling to get up, Nan Liyu on the side quickly stepped forward to help him up and put soft cushions behind him to prevent him from sitting more comfortably.
Although his face was still a little pale, sweat was no longer dripping from his forehead, and his eyes seemed to be filled with stars and sea, fresh and bright.
"Why are you here?" The voice was slightly hoarse.
Gu Jianghe didn't answer, he just lowered his head and took off the jade pendant hanging from his waist, held it in his hand and handed it to Ranchen.
Ranchen reached out and took the jade pendant from Gu Jianghe's hand, only to realize that it was the jade pendant he left behind when he left Yaowang Valley without saying goodbye. The corner of Ranchen's mouth curved slightly, revealing a faint smile: "Is the girl coming out of the valley just to return my jade pendant? Or is she here to collect the remaining medicine money?"
"You don't need to pay any more two hundred thousand taels of silver. I will treat your illness."
"What does that girl want to do down there?"
"I just want you to do me a favor."
"good."
Seeing Ranchen agreeing so simply, Gu Jianghe was also a little surprised: "You didn't even ask me what help I wanted from you, so you just agreed?"
Ranchen reached out and smoothed away the broken hair that fell from his forehead. The untied long hair was scattered on his shoulders, making this handsome man look a little weak at the moment.
"Young lady saved me twice. Apart from murder and arson, as long as I can do it, I will do it with all my strength."
Gu Jianghe tilted his head slightly and looked at the person on the bed.
From the moment she was brought into Chuanggu, she felt that this man was a bit strange, with a disease in his legs and a strange poison in his body. But there are so many young masters around him. Not only did he come and go without a trace, but what was even more strange was that the master actually asked him to go down the mountain to find him, saying that he could solve the nightmare that had troubled him for so many years.
Gu Jianghe stood up, reached out and took the white porcelain medicine bottle from Jiuxia's hand, and handed it to Nan Liyu, who was standing on the soft side: "I'll give this to you in case you need it."
"This is?"
"Cyperus rotundus." Gu Jianghe answered, paused, then turned to look at Ranchen on the bed, "Cyperus rotundus can relieve your pain."
"Miss Gu," Ranchen suddenly supported the bed with his right hand, sat up straight, grabbed Gu Jianghe's hand, and stuffed the jade pendant into her hand, which shocked her, "Jade pendant, you Keep it first.”
Gu Jianghe was stunned for a moment, but he didn't refuse. He said "good" in reply and took it into his arms.
"Li Yu, ask Ning Yi to arrange for the two girls to stay in the mansion."
Nan Liyu agreed and took Gu Jianghe and Jiuxia out. Gu Jianghe nodded slightly to Ranchen, and Lian and Jiuxia followed Nan Liyu and left the room.
After a while, Nan Liyu returned to the room. Ranchen was still leaning on the soft cave and did not move.
Nan Liyu pulled the stool beside the table and sat down beside the bed. He also put the sword in his hand beside the bed and gave up.
Ranchen smiled lightly and said: "Li Yu, you are rarely like this. Do you want to tell me about the jade pendant?"
"This jade pendant is so important. When you stayed in Yaowang Valley, I didn't agree with it. Now that Gu Valley Master has brought it back to you, why do you want to give it to her again?"
"I don't know," Ranchen looked at the door. The sunlight outside was bright, passing through the edge of the door and filtering in. "Just think of it as a momentary mistake on my part."
